TIE HEARS IN CONTROL.
Prices Of All Active Stocks Decidedly
Lower.


New YoBK, Oct. "a. The stock market
to-day was once more completely In the
hands OF the beirs, and was weak through
out with no reaction worthy OF the name,
and prices this evening are materially lower,
though the transactions were small In com
psrison with the business done OF late.
There were no news or rumors OF nature
specially to affect values, though there was
considerable western selling on the story
that the earnings OF the Northwestern for
last month would show decrease.
The operations Of the day had no special
Significance, but were almost entirely con-
fined to the professional element, the room
traders joining In the movement as soon as
the drift Of affairs was seen. A report that
syndicate stood ready to take the new
fours OF the Reading had some influence for
good late In the day, and some signs OF q
rally were seen toward the close. The
opening was weak, at declines Of Satur-
days final prices Of from to per cent,
and the weakness was not checked, but
further losses were esta6lished In the iirst
hour, Missouri Pacific being the weakest on
the list. The market then remained very
dull and recovered slightly, but Western
Union and Union Pacific led the downward
movement after noon, and everything
Joined in the decline, and the lowest prices
were made In the last hour. Some little
Improvement was seen, but the close was
weak generally at the lowest figures. The
entire active hetis lower.
Money on call has been easy, ranging
from TO 4, last loan at 4, and closing offered
at 4. Sterling exchange is dull but firm

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN; Since
reading your notice this morning Of my
discourse yesterday l find that must have
misled the reporter, and perhaps others, by
the statement that Kepler traced back the
orbit Of the new star. What intended to
say, and should have said, was that he
traced the orbits Of the three planets, Jupi-
ter, Saturn, and Mars, and found the same
conjunction In the year OF Rome TAT and
74S, inferring the appearance Of the new
star from that fact. Astronomers of our
day might object to a statement so unquali-
fed, and have no wish to build any argu-
ment for Christi, nifty on q shaky founda-
tion. d. SUNDERLAND.

PRoMIsCUoUs SHOOTING
where the Police Endangered tho Lives
.' of Citizens.

OF Citizens.
Mr.. o. d. Davis, Of 300 d street north
east, has addressed the following letter to
the commissioners:
Shortly after Q o clock Thursday evening this
neiRhboihood was startled by a number Of
pistol shots tsaid to be eight In ALL in rapid
succession. These are alleged tn have been
fred by policemen, aud the person at whom
they were directed was q colored boy named
Richard Colbert, a resident Of Third street
northeast, between ID and E streets. Colbert
appears to have been innocent of oiIense, and
states that he thought the officers wore STOOL
ing with HIM until they commenced TO uso
their pistols The shooting began at the cor
ner OF Fourth and O streets northeast, and was
continued westward alont G TO Third street,
and northward to ID street or thereabouts. The
marks of the fusilade are said to be visible on O
street. Persons, ain told, were much flight
ened, and It IS matter OF congratulation that
no one was injured.
/ do not know the law, II any there be, reg
uatlrg the Use Of the pistol by our police force,
but 1submit that the lives and limbs OF citizens
should not be jeopardized by officers without
some reason much more serious than that fur
nisbed on this occasion. l may say
in closing that this Is the second occurrence OF
the kind in this section within the past three
months.

Cramps of the muscles Cured,

John /. Wood, OF stratford, Ont, was cured
Of cramps in the legs by wearing Allcock's
Porous Plasters. Mr.. Wood says;
"Some three months ago was taken very
sick with sevsre pain In the small OF my back
over the kidneys. The pain was excruciating.
Iapplied an Alloook's Porous Plaster over the
affected region and had relief almost within an
hour. AT the same time, in conjunction with
this trouble, had very great nervous disturb
ance, affecting my legs with cramps so could
scarcely sleep. Meeting with such success
with my back applied plaster under the
knee on each leg, and in three days was COM
pletely cured, aud have never been troubled

Profit Il Profit.

The most inyeterate scalper that ever
operated In the Chicago grain market is
Millionaire Hutchinson. Al scalper, the
uninitiated should be told, Is a trader who
jumps in and out with rapid deals, salts
fed with small profits, and making as few
losses as possible. Most operators want
to double their money, and many stand
for long profits. Not SO with Hutch. His
orders to his brokers are to close out as
soon as they can show o profit to his
credit.
What do You mean by profit, Mr..
Hutchinson?n inquired young broker the
other day, on receiving his first order from
the scalper.
'sGreat heavensp' was the rejoinder,
'thaven't you been. here long enough to
know what profit is?'' Eyes, know
what profit is, but don't know what
you consider d satisfactory profit. "a
profit, = Hutch then explained, lis profit.
ANY profit should be satisfactory to a man
who isn't hog. Young man, $50 is a
profit-yes, $40, or So, or 81, or even ten
cents. And if you can't do any better,
one cent is better than nothing at ALL Go
along and fill that order, and be sure that
you earn me a profit, no matter how
small. 2 The broker said he had been
trading on HBtchinson's account $for
seventeen successive days; filling several
small orders each day, and in all that
time he had not nlade a loss. Some
times his profits were only sufficient to
pay commissions and dollar or two over,
but the old man was always satisfied
